PHOEBE

THE BACKGROUND Phoebe had her moment in the sun earlier this season, marrying Mike (Paul Rudd) in a blizzard-bound street wedding that was so Phoebe -- weird, wonderful, and unexpected.
RUMOR HAS IT That there's a bun in Phoebe's oven.
DO WE BUY IT? Not really. Announcing a pregnancy in the finale seems too tidy for this unconventional character. She just got married; let the gal have some fun before she starts changing diapers!
IF WE WERE IN CHARGE... Phoebe and Mike would sell everything and move to Ibiza, where Mike could play piano at a local bar while Phoebe massaged party-weary clients.

MONICA AND CHANDLER

THE BACKGROUND As Monica and Chandler eagerly await their first adopted child from birth mom Erica (Anna Faris), they pack their bags for a move to the suburbs.
RUMOR HAS IT That Erica goes into labor in the last episode -- and delivers twins! Another report says that Janice (Maggie Wheeler) reappears and tries to adopt the children Chandler and Monica are hoping to take home.
DO WE BUY IT? No way. We're all for another trek to the delivery room (Rachel and Phoebe had some of their best scenes there), but a baby-poaching Janice? Sounds like this rumor is just that.
IF WE WERE IN CHARGE... As excited as we'd be to see Janice again, why not bring her back as the hospital's adoption liaison? Hearing Chandler's annoying ex talk the nervous couple through the process could be comic gold, and a proper send-off for a memorable player from Chandler's pre-Monica past.
